EMMA ABBOTT.

Emma Abbott seems to exercise her
popularity with each succeeding year and
she is to-day, nearer the hearts of Ameri-
can people, higher in their esteem than
any other artist before the public. She
caters to the public by every year bringing
out new artists, producing new operas, on
a scale of elaborence not attempted by any
less successful company, and by continued
improvement in her own vocal and
dramatic work, gained under the instruc
tions of Marchese, Viardot, and other
famous teachers in Paris and London.

her plate a handsome vase. In all of these
favors Were beautiful boquets of rare
flowers and as the guests had to hunt
